1907. M' Ardi,E» — Musci & HepaHca 'from Co. Fermanagh. 233 



Here I found Eurhynchium Tecsdalei, reported to have been 

 collected near Bantry, Co. Cork by Miss Hntchins, and in the 

 Phoenix Park, Dublin by the late Dr. D. Moore, many years 

 ago. I have not heard of its being recorded recently. My 

 best find in this enchanting glen was Amblystegium Sprucei, a 

 very beautiful and delicate moss, as far as I am aware new to 

 the Irish flora. It has a distribution rather restricted in 

 England, goes northward to Scotland, and I believe is found 

 in Scandinavia. Stones in the stream were clothed with 

 Racomitrhim aciculaie> conspicuous from a distance as it was 

 bearing the bright capsules A large form of Metzgeria fwxata 

 and the curious Trichocolea tomentella clothed the rocks; a 

 microscopic examination of Scapania resupinafa from here 

 brought to light the curious Venturia bryophyla^ a rare fundus, 

 very minute, in shape like a wheel without the rim. It was 

 growing on the leaves of the Scapania. Large patches of 

 Taylor's Mylia were conspicuous ; the rare Lejeunea patens 

 was growing on a moss, Fissidens adiantoides. Such exuberance 

 of the moss and hepatic flora is rare to find, and Correl Glen is 

 quite as rich in these plants as the glens of Kerry or Wicklow. 



In bad weather I had a day or tw r o along the shore of Lough 

 Erne, and collected some interesting specimens. It was with 

 some degree of satisfaction that I counted 17 additions to 

 District X. in the small collection of 43 Hepaticae. It will be 

 observed that the absence of some genera so common in other 

 districts and counties is very remarkable. Those marked * 

 in the list are additions to the county, which is included in 

 District X. in the Irish list, 1 The collection of mosses 

 numbers 81 species and seven varieties, and is probably the 

 most complete list yet published from Co. Fermanagh. It 

 will be observed that many of them are very rare. I consulted 

 Mr. H. Dixon, of Northampton, on matters of doubt, and to 

 him I offer my best thanks.
